Also, Alan Rickman!
You know, I was dead set against this movie. I love the text. And I love how it acts in my mind. It's one of the few narratives that I really rather enjoy reading and not seeing. But it looks as though they've done a great job with it.

And the chance of hearing Alan Rickman voice Marvin is simply too good to miss. :)

I'm good at denial. Sirius isn't dead, either.)

So do I. I must admit, the more I see, the better I feel about it. I hope these early glimpses convey the spirit of the film as a whole.

Excellent idea! In that event, may I join you in your denial? We can live in our own little world. :)

Date: 2005-03-03 10:38 pm (UTC)the cast sounds fantastic and, even if it doesn't quite reach the heights of adams' text, it'll definitely be a worthwhile object anyway.
